Flag Day 2016



Martin Luther King, Jr. didn't carry just a piece of cloth to symbolize his belief in racial equality; he carried the American flag. -Adrian Cronauer

I believe our flag is more than just cloth and ink. It is a universally recognized symbol that stands for liberty, and freedom. It is the history of our nation, and it’s marked by the blood of those who died defending it. -John Thune

It is the flag just as much of the man who was naturalized yesterday as of the men whose people have been here many generations. -Henry Cabot Lodge

We do not consecrate the flag by punishing its desecration, for in doing so we dilute the freedom that this cherished emblem represents. -Justice William J. Brennan, for the Majority US Supreme Court Decision, 3 July 1989
